FINAL MULTIPLIER EVENT

We had the pleasure of participating in the Final Multiplier Event of the Stories4Wings project in Ankara, Türkiye.

This event brought together project partners, local stakeholders, and community members to learn more about the Stories4Wings methodology and discover how storytelling can become a powerful tool for promoting values, learning, and social inclusion in prisons.

Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to engage with some of the stories developed within the project, take part in interactive activities, and share reflections on the themes and lessons these stories explore. These moments of dialogue once again demonstrated the power of storytelling to foster empathy, reflection, and meaningful connections among people.

It was also an honor to present the project to local participants and institutional representatives, including the Mayor of the Syncan district in Ankara, and to discuss the positive impact that storytelling can have within our communities.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our hosts and the Ankara community for their warm hospitality, generosity, and the welcoming atmosphere they provided throughout these days. Their support helped make this gathering a truly enriching and memorable experience.

We also thank all project partners and participants who made this space for learning, collaboration, and exchange possible.

Because every story shared has the power to spark new conversations and build bridges between people and communities.
